The XM® satellites are in orbit over the equator;
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause
satellite reception interruptions. Satellite signals
are more likely to be bloc ked by tall buildings and
mountains the farther north you travel from the
equator.
You may experience re ception problems under
the following circumstances:
• In a location with an obstruction to the south
of your vehicle.
• In tunnels
• On the lower level of a multi-tiered road
• Large items carrie d on the roof rack

Troubleshooting
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.
These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Display Tracking is set to
On . 2Display Tracking
P. 83
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?
Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map , set Display Tracking to Off
or select Delete Tracking to remove the white dots from the map. 2Display Tracking
P. 83
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.
When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection. 2 Avoided Area
P. 60
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.
This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors. 2GPS System
P. 310
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.
The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

308Reference Information
System InitializationThe navigation system must be initialized if
power to the navigation system is
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the
battery was disconnected).Entering the Security CodeIn most cases, you do not need to enter a
security code. Follow the steps to
reactivate the system.
1.Set the power mode to ON, and turn on
the audio system.
2. Press and hold the 9 (Power) button
for more than two seconds.
The system is reac tivated when the
system’s control unit recognizes that
the system is in your vehicle.
If the control unit fails to recognize,
you must go to a dealer and have the
system checked.
Acquiring GPS InformationDepending on the length of time the
power was interrupted, your system may
require GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system
proceeds directly to the Startup
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, the following screen is
displayed.

310Reference Information
System LimitationsGPS SystemThe signals received from the GPS satellites
are extremely weak (less than a millionth
of the strength of a local FM station) and
require an unobstructed view of the sky.
The GPS antenna is located in the
dashboard. The signal reception can easily
be interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built
into the GPS for wh ich the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of
up to several hundred feet.
Address CalculationThe destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400
block with 100 possible addresses
(because it is followed by the 1500 block)
will be shown a quarter of the way down
the block by the system. If there are only
25 actual addresses
on the block, the
actual location of address 1425 would be
at the end of the block.
DatabaseThe digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the
place was improperly categorized, or a
place/landmark is not yet in the database.
This is also true for police stations,
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do
not rely on the navigation system if you
need law enforcement or hospital services.
Always check with local information
sources.
